Clark County auto dealer bonds.
From $100.
A vehicle dealer operating in Clark County needs a county business license alongside the state dealer license — and a surety bond stands behind it. Whatever amount your county license or the Nevada DMV names, pricing is 1% of the bond amount, with a $100 minimum. Your exact price appears at the application based on that rate.

What it is and who needs it.
What the dealer bond actually guarantees
Selling vehicles in Clark County takes two things: a Nevada state dealer license and a Clark County business license for the location. A surety bond stands behind the operation as a consumer-and-public-protection guarantee — that you deliver clear title, handle customer money properly, and follow the motor vehicle sales laws.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the obligee — the county or the State of Nevada, depending on which bond your license requires — with harmed buyers as the protected parties. If a dealer fails to deliver clear title or misapplies a customer's funds, the harmed party can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Dealers who keep clean title and good records treat the bond as a license formality. Because the required amount varies by dealer category, you enter the figure your license names and pricing is 1% of the bond amount, with a $100 minimum.
